Who will go home on “Dancing with the Stars” at the end of “A Celebration of Taylor Swift”? For weeks many “DWTS” fans have predicted “Too Hot to Handle” star Harry Jowsey for elimination in our predictions center, but for weeks they’ve been wrong. So perhaps we should consider that there will be another shocking ouster after the earlier-than-expected exits of celebs like Mira Sorvino and Lele Pons in past weeks. Perhaps that surprise will be at the expense of one-time Mirror Ball Trophy front-runner Charity Lawson.
The “Bachelorette” star isn’t the most likely to go home tonight according to our odds, though. As of this writing it actually looks like a close call between “Buffy” and “How I Met Your Mother” star Alyson Hannigan and — you guessed it — Harry Jowsey. Hannigan is the most likely to exit, getting leading odds of 2/1. She had a ballroom breakthrough on “Music Video Night,” giving her best performance to date, and she followed that up with another successful routine on “Whitney Houston Night.” But she hasn’t quite risen to the level of the top “DWTS” scorers this season, so it might all come down to the opinions of fans voting at home.
And the viewing audience seems to love Jowsey. He has been stuck at the bottom of the judges’ leaderboard for weeks now, and for weeks he has survived. Even on “Whitney Houston Night,” after the studio audience literally chanted Barry Williams‘s name, it was Williams who was sent home and not Jowsey. But how much longer can he survive without support from the judges? Could he even Bobby Bones his way to the Len Goodman Mirror Ball Trophy? He ranks second in our predictions with 41/20 odds of being sent home.
Lawson, however, is not too far behind Jowsey with 9/2 odds of leaving the competition. Despite her technical proficiency on the dance floor, the judges have dinged her for not connecting emotionally to her music or her movements. That can sometimes be worse than messing up your choreography; if Lawson is struggling to connect emotionally with the judges, might the viewing audience feel the same way? And will that cost her a shot at the Mirror Ball Trophy? We might find out tonight.
